298 “Female Counterattack (H)” Chapter 297

043 The General and his Little Rabbit Demon 10

Accompanied by the scent of hibiscus flowers, a woman in a lavender formal dress walked into the courtyard with several maids and servants.She has a slim and dignified figure, long eyebrows, and no fine lines on her well-maintained fair face. She has a gentle and decent smile hanging on the corner of her mouth. She looks like she is only in her early thirties, kind and beautiful.

Walking all the way to the living room, he was not annoyed when he saw Helian Sheng, who had a sinking face and a hesitant expression. He just frowned and said, “Sheng’er, why do you live in such a simple place and never come home? This worries me and your father. My brothers and sisters also miss you very much.”

He Liansheng sneered disdainfully, with no intention of entertaining her. He glanced at the servants behind the woman who were bowing their heads respectfully, and then said coldly: “I guess these servants are your confidants, so there is no need for you to act like Guanyin Bodhisattva, a loving mother and a filial son.”

The person who came was none other than Helian Sheng’s stepmother, Mrs. Zhen.

He Liansheng lost his mother when he was eight years old. Within two years, his father remarried Zhen, the eldest daughter of the Youxiangfu family at that time.His father, He Lianchang, was also a powerful general with great military exploits when he was young. He was even named the Marquis of Wu’an. He was extremely wealthy and famous for a while. Even if he wanted to continue his marriage, he also had many boudoir daughters looking forward to marrying him.

After Zhen entered the palace, she was very affectionate with He Lianchang. Not only did she keep the Marquis’s house in good order, she treated her stepsons and stepdaughters as if they were her own, and was thoughtful and generous in their social interactions. She also gave birth to two sons and one daughter to the Marquis.The only criticism was that since she entered the palace, the Marquis had dismissed several concubines to have sex with her, and she was suspected of being jealous.Of course, this is all superficial. In fact, which woman doesn’t want to be her husband’s only pillow?

This kind of praise reached its peak when He Lianyun, the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, was canonized as the Crown Princess.

Therefore, for the past seventeen or eight years, Mrs. Zhen has been a role model among aristocratic ladies in Beijing. Her makeup, clothing, and even her tone of voice and walking posture have been imitated by women in Beijing.

Probably the only disharmonious factor in the entire Hou family was Heliansheng, the eldest son of the Hou family. When he came of age, the Zhen family arranged several well-matched marriages for him. But the strange thing was that whenever the Geng Tie was to be exchanged, the woman would either fall into the water and become ill, or it was rumored that the man and woman had secretly received each other. The last daughter of a third-rank minister’s family was captured by thieves while offering incense in the temple and lost her virginity.

As time went by, no lady in the capital dared to pursue the idea of ​​the prince of the Hou family. In addition, there were some rumors that Helian Sheng was disrespectful and unfilial to Marquis Wu’an and lingered in romantic places when declaring his duties. As a result, he, who became famous at a young age, has remained alone to this day.

Only He Liansheng himself knew how deeply scheming his famous stepmother was. She clearly coveted his position as the heir apparent because of her biological son, but she wanted to manipulate his marriage and maliciously ruin his reputation, for fear that he would marry a powerful wife from his mother’s family.He even silently instigated his father to believe these rumors, and the distance between him and him grew day by day.He didn’t bother to tell the difference, and he had no intention of harming the families of those innocent daughters.

Do you just want him to respect and obey this virtuous stepmother?It’s impossible.If it weren’t for the fact that she truly loved her father, Helian Sheng would have found a hundred ways to fix her.

After hearing his sarcastic words, Mrs. Zhen’s expression did not change at all. She just waved her hand and ordered the servants: “Go down and see if there is anything missing here, and report it to me as soon as possible.”

Are you trying to search his other courtyard?As early as when he heard the commotion, he had sorted and put away Xiaoyu’s few clothes. He had not yet arranged his future with Xiaoyu and did not want his family to interfere prematurely.Therefore, he didn’t bother to stop him: “You just know how to play these cheap tricks.”

“Sheng’er, I know you have misunderstood me deeply over the years, but if you have a woman you like, let your father know. He… is actually very worried about you.”

He Liansheng instantly understood the purpose of her visit. It was probably because someone with good intentions reported to her that he went out to buy some women’s clothes.

The man suddenly stood up, and the terrifying aura he had honed on the battlefield burst out, and the atmosphere in the entire living room suddenly dropped to freezing point. He said word by word: “I’m warning you, if you interfere in my affairs in the future, I can’t guarantee that your precious son will live to marry a wife and have children. Now take your people and get out of my other courtyard immediately!”

Even though Mrs. Zhen prided herself on being calm, she was so frightened by the cruelty in his words that she trembled slightly. Her lips moved, but she didn’t say anything more and just left on her own.
